A finish that changes timber's colour while allowing its grain to remain visible.

Revise: Surface Treatments and FinishesWood stain changes the colour while retaining the visible grain. It can make pale timber darker or help different pieces look more similar. Unlike opaque paint, it does not hide the grain.
Do not assume a wood stain provides the same protection as varnish. Check whether it needs a separate protective coating.
